Thanks! Moving before attacking allows you to control the angle at which your shot hits the target, which in turn controls the entry point on the pachi ring. Currently it doesn't matter all that much, but I plan to add more obvious "weak zones" for the player to go after.
Glad you enjoyed the writing! I plan to add controls that allow you to expand and scroll through the event console. Definitely got a little carried away and put a few long bois in there that are nearly impossible to read cause they roll the console so fast :P
